Go ahead an dispute as much as you can about my findings; yet I'm coming from a logical premise where numbers are associated to words from the VMS imagery.
You may think you come from a logical premise, but can you answer this question?
If this is gematria, why did the VMS author add hundreds of extra hours of work by carefully ordering the position of the glyphs?
In gematria, the word ABCD has the same numeric sum as the word DCBA or ADCB—they all add up to the same thing using your system. And yet the VMS scribes took great pains to put certain glyphs at the beginning of Vords, certain glyphs at the end, and certain glyphs at the beginnings and ends of lines.
This careful arrangement is completely unnecessary, and GREATLY increases the amount of work involved in writing the text.
If it's gematria, glyph order doesn't matter. So why would they greatly complicate the laying down of the text? It doesn't hide the numeric value of the words, so it's not another level of encryption. It doesn't help in reading them back either, since one still has to go through the grueling process of looking up all the words that match the number (not the letter) and then trying to guess which one was intended.
It makes no sense to arrange the glyph order as happens in the VMS if it's gematria.
